SRAM XX
Some details emerge on SRAM XX (10 speed for MTB).
Seems ring combos (not mix-n-match) will be "26-39t, 28-42t, and 30-45t" and cassette (which take 9 hours to machine out of a solid lump of steel! Think $$$!) in "11-32t and a very interesting 11-36t".
This means your granny will be less granny (26/36 smallest combo) and big dog will be less big unless you take the 30/45 ringset and suffer a granny of only 30/36. Yeah, don't think this is prime time for lazy bones riders quiet yet, but the 'roids will like it.
Meeting of Belrose Waste & Recycling Centre Community Advisory Committee
I hear that the Belrose Waste & Recycling Centre Community Advisory Committee are having a meeting at Mon 15th (June 2009) 3.30 pm at Covenant Christian School, directions here:

It would be good if someone from the MTB community could go to this. I believe the plan for the old Belrose Landfill is to turn the area into a recreational site and although this might not happen for some time it's important for the planners to know MTB riders are here and could benefit from this.
UPDATED World Cup Canberra
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
St Ives Patterson's Patisserie 237 Mona Vale Rd St Ives - there is a car park over the road where you can easily leave your car for the weekend.
World Cup in Canberra is coming soon.
Sydney based riders who want to head to Canberra to get a taste of the World Cup action and get a few rides including Sparrow Hill and Mt Majura over the weekend, here’s your opportunity.
Looking to get there for Friday nites 4X final:)
The cost is no longer $420 - now $380. This covers transport to and from Canberra, two nights accommodation and minimum two rides for yourself, meals and transport out to Stromlo to watch the World Cup.
Ourimbah
Thinking of a ride at Ourimbah tomorrow and keen to hear from anyone that might know if the track is good to go or if it also needs a few more days to dry out.
Burning Trails, not looking good for Nobmob
Those results aren't looking good to have a Nobmobber present in the final three.
Maybe its time all the Mob involved get together and decide which one of them they want the rest of us to vote for.
Remember we only get one vote and we need to make it count.

Mike Baird, MP - Mountain Bike Park Access
Manly MP Mike Baird brought up the issue of trail access in state Parliament yesterday. This is very good for trail advocacy work and I'd like to publicly thank him for taking an interest in our sport and plight.
Below is the transcript of what was said, taken from http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/Prod/parlment/h...
This is also available on the member's website here: http://www.mikebaird.com.au/interactive/speeches...
There is a press release here with a comments form to complete if you'd like to show Mr Baird your gratitude directly on his site too. All too often people moan at the bad and don't congratulate the good so it's very worthwhile showing support for this action:

Here's hoping something good can come of this.

Manly Daily - Taken for a ride
This is interesting 
http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au/news/story/...
What I actually said was that there were only 5Km of legal single track in the local vicinity. But I guess that's the same thing - I mean, we don't condone illegal activities so it's pretty much the same thing.
